Last plead for change.

I'm a 21 year old who plays this game with my little brother. At first it was a game that I thought was lame but wanted to play with my little brother and make him happy. Quickly I became attached to the charming nature and being able to create my own journey through the game. After playing for pretty much a year +, I can say that I love this game. But the state of the game right now, is absolutely HORRIFIC. I am an Oculus player, I can only have one world, and when I get bored of that world, I cannot reset it to try and make new things, I cannot make new personal solo servers. Literally all you can do once you've maxed your ONE AND ONLY server, is join other servers. And I hate doing that because there are so many toxic people that ruin the fun experience. All this game does is pump out ridiculous cosmetics every month instead of actually trying to make the game better. And sadly, that tells everybody exactly where Alta's head is at. I love this game, I really do. But I wish I never paid for it. It's just awful.
The core mechanics of the game are fun, theres nothing wrong with the core gameplay in my opinion (Aside from the lack of content). What's wrong is that you have ZERO creative freedom. No building houses or structures or chests, no making new servers aside from your single server, no resetting your ONE SINGLE SERVER they let you play on when you've beat everything and you're bored. Once you beat the game and your bored, your done. That's it. Nothing else left to even do in the game. Your only option is to play on servers which we all know is a horrible idea because you will get everything stolen and play with people who annoy you that think they are funny.
It's just so sad. This game has SO much potential to be such an incredible game. And to see it become a greedy, pathetic mess, is just so sad. This game is special to me because me and my little brother had so much fun playing together and exploring the mines and looting and crafting. It sucks so much that you can barely do anything in this game and to watch all of this unfold.
I've reached out to support, got completely ignored. I've reach out to the community, everyone says there's nothing you can do.
What now?? Continue to release cosmetics forever? This game is going to die quickly if that's the case.
Listen, if you want to retain players and re-build your horribly poor and pathetic reputation, please do the following: Get Oculus players back up to speed with the PC content. There is a huge Oculus market that is growing.
IF YOU MAKE THE GAME ACTUALLY PLAYABLE AND GOOD FOR BOTH PLATFORMS, MORE PEOPLE WILL PAY MORE MONEY FOR YOUR IN GAME ITEMS
, if you want to continue being greedy, that's fine, your free agency. AT LEAST make the game better so you'll make us happy and more willing to pay for more content and in game items. How hard is that?? But to continue, Oculus players need to be able to have more than one SINGLE server. At least 5-10 servers so they can have dedicated solo servers and servers specifically so they can invite specific friends to. Also make it so that all servers can be reset, so if we complete the game and theres nothing left to do, we can at least reset it and start from scratch. Add new content. Listen to your players for once and stop ignoring us. It isn't to late to come back from this. Everybody will forget everything if you can make up for the horrible state of the game and stop releasing cosmetics every single update and release better versions of the game. Please. EVERYBODY is saying the exact same thing I am saying. All you do is pump out horrible cosmetics instead of engaging with your audience and making the game actually bearable to play. Please do something Alta, or your game will die fast.

If I can shed any light on the situation; check out meta servers. Servers like life-steal or ones with bots like Catboy that have alchemy or even spirit abilities. I've found that more often than not, the player-base will start developing the games they love the most when the company gets iffy. There are some super cool servers out there that really make the game more enjoyable and fresh.

Its sad to see quest has gotten to the point the pc version is at, i got to this same point 2 years ago. (im pc) id play zenith as a hold over you'll be waiting for a few more years as alta slowly lose what money they have saved up then they might add what we are waiting for....you know real content.
(Edit) Dont let all the defenders get to you they are still in there honeymoon phase. Gasp someones upset its taken years to get an update!! What a horrible monster!! Ive got to say the same thing people have been saying for years. (the comment below)

Firstly you can actually reset your only server. If you want to keep your old server and start a new you could try an alt account (don't know if it works though. probably not).
Secondly they pump out cosmetics more often than content because there're two separate teams working on content (the cosmetic and the normal team).
Thirdly the quests (both the og and 2) are absolutely horrible specs. They're trying their best to optimize their game so that it runs okayish on the headsets.
Fourthly what does it mean the game will die? After they're done updating the game all the old players will come back.
Notes: Blame the quest headsets. they're the reason the game has a content drought. Also Alta's doing a QnA and an update to the game this month
I give this post "the most boring and not put thought into it opinion/10".
